TikTok’s Savior. Nothing is ever new.

Trump is the the savior of TikTok! All praise Trump! The man who first suggested the ban himself when he was in office previously. Biden’s administration told them they didn’t have to shut down yet and there would be no penalties yet. TikTok said promises weren’t enough. Two days before Inauguration they go dark with a message about working with Trump. Day before the Inauguration, Trump’s promises are good enough to come back online. It’s all a stunt. There is nothing new under the sun.

From the Roman satirical poet Juvenal (c. 100 AD):

“Already long ago, from when we sold our vote to no man, the People have abdicated our duties; for the People who once upon a time handed out military command, high civil office, legions — everything, now restrains itself and anxiously hopes for just two things: bread and circuses.”

Two impeachments, 30+ felonies. Give them TikTok and watch them dance.
